Being President sure is hard.
Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been “overwhelmed” by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.
Unfortunately for us, this is President Hussein’s first actual job. No wonder he’s so stressed and sleep-deprived. Perhaps he’s spent too much time building that frame for Henrietta Hughes’ new house.
But Washington figures with access to Mr Obama’s inner circle explained the slight by saying that those high up in the administration have had little time to deal with international matters, let alone the diplomatic niceties of the special relationship.
Allies of Mr Obama say his weary appearance in the Oval Office with Mr Brown illustrates the strain he is now under, and the president’s surprise at the sheer volume of business that crosses his desk.
A well-connected Washington figure, who is close to members of Mr Obama’s inner circle, expressed concern that Mr Obama had failed so far to “even fake an interest in foreign policy”.
He shouldn’t have to “fake” an interest in foreign policy. It’s simple: raise the white flag, help radical islam do away with Israel and capitulate to any foreign invaders who may have designs on the destruction of the West. There, and you didn’t even have to pay me.
The American source said: “Obama is overwhelmed. There is a zero sum tension between his ability to attend to the economic issues and his ability to be a proactive sculptor of the national security agenda.
“That was the gamble these guys made at the front end of this presidency and I think they’re finding it a hard thing to do everything.”
I guess this is a little tougher than his old “job” of Community Agitator. Amateur hour is far too kind a description, Cramer.
Wow. That is a great, great, GREAT point.

This administration is so deep in the weeds, they are suffocating.
On the one hand, I find it hysterical and love being able to say “I told you so” to my Liberal friends.
On the other, I fear for my country.
I want to go to one of those Michelle Obama “Socials” and get plastered on the tax payer dime. Maybe I’ll feel better.
That was my first thought when I read the original article on this subject today.. well, of course he is tired and overwhelmed, never held a job in his life, hasn’t a freaking clue what to do!
Tell the truth now:
a random word generator put the words in that "sentence" together, right?
There.
Fixed.
..we could only hope it was just MR....overwhelmed?..or above his pay grade?
He’s not tired. The oil paint in Dorian Gray’s picture is just beginning to crack.
Newsbusters.com had a great story about how Gordon Brown brought to President Hussein, among other presents, an original edition biography of Winston Churchill.
Without linking this to the fact one of B. Hussein's very first Presidential acts was to remove the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office and return it to Britain, without comment, notwithstanding the fact it was a gift from a sympathetic nation in the aftermath of 9/11.
I think Prime Minister Brown was being just a tad too subtle...
BH0 ought to fit right in, being himself a zero sum.
What happened next? Right after President Bush took office, with the Media in full BDS, we had the Chinese force down of our P3 Orion. Bush had to resolve that and get our personnel back home.
I didn't hear any whining from Bush when that happened, did you? Like I said many times before on this site, Obama is, and will always be a PUSSY!
On top of that, he has absolutely NO CLASS or work ethic.
The job of President would be grueling for a very smart man with competent advisers, just think what it is for a dumb lazy Kenyan with the congregation of mental midgets that advise him.
*lmao*..it’s a keeper
Why doesn’t he just stay at his desk in the oval office (that he fought so hard to get behind) -— and stop all the travelling, and flights and partying??!!
Oh — wait — maybe I don’t want him to be at his desk, making rules and signing orders.
Party on!!
I hope he goes nutters... er.. I mean he fails.. yes, fails....
Hard to believe. The Presidency is now an entry-level position.
